    1st, I am sick as a dog, so please dont flame me.

    so what were they? I too am having the same problem I actually have 8 or so yellow question marks in the device drivers. They are as follows:

    "Base system device" PCI bus 21, device 0, Function 4
    "Base system device" PCI bus 21, device 0, function 3
    "base system Device" PCI bus 21, device 0, function 5
    "ethernet controller" PCI Slot1 (PCI bus3, device0 function 0)
    "unknown device" On Intel ICH8M-E LPC Interface Controller
    "unknown device" on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
    "video controller" PCI bus 0, device 2, function 1
    "video controller" (VGA Compatible) PCI Bus 0, device 2, function 0

    OK, Please dont dump on me, I honestly am suffering from a legitimate Migrain and am about ready to puke. I have done this type of things many times on OTHER computers, this one is for some reason kicking my butt!

    Please help

    Papa

    If you have the SWTools folder, burn it onto a disc. In device manager, have it search the disc for the driver.
